| One in three French wants Saddam to win |
| 2003-04-01 |
ILL-FEELING between Britain and France over the invasion of Iraq has plumbed new depths .... The defilement of Commonwealth war graves in northern France coincided with a poll for The Times which found that 54 per cent of Britons no longer regarded France as a close ally because of its opposition to the war.... Relations will be further rent by a second poll, in Le Monde, showing that only a third of the French felt that they were on the same side as the Americans and British, and that another third desired outright Iraqi victory over âles anglo-saxonsâ. |

| #4 Take this poll with a grain of salt: If they took it in the outskirts of Paris where you have North African ghettos, the result is somewhat less surprising. But I must say that I haven't met a German (non moslem) who wanted Saddam to win even if he was against the war. Looks like we're in bad company right now. Where is Manstein when you need him...lol |

| #3 Wait a minute, there, Dave.....I think you just insulted whores. Not all of them are French. I don't think that anyone is surprised that 1/3 of them are on our side, and I don't think that's going to do serious damage to relations between US/Britain and France. The graveyard desecration is far worse. What a worthless bunch of cretins. |

| #2 I can't imagine the depth of the moral rot in that loathesome nation of whores, pickpockets, collaborators and perfumed dandies. The rot is, if anything, even deeper than it was three centuries ago when my ancestors fled to come to America. None of us, as best I can tell, has ever gone back. |

| #1 This is hardly surprising. They were the Vichy government for the Nazis. |
